The Swatara Rail Trail parallels Swatara Creek and passes through Swatara State Park. It travels west and south from Pine Grove in Schuylkill County and ends near Lickdale Road and PA Route 72, a distance of ten miles. Ye Olde Photographer walked about a mile and a half or so southwestward from a parking area at the foot of Sand Siding Road in the state park. That stretch was beautifully graded rolled cinder, definitely need to get back there with the bicycles.
